OT: My DVD Collection

Mr_Vindictive · January 19, 2006, 11:24:48 AM

So I'm sure that everyone knows about DVDAficionado.com. I was unaware that the website existed until yesterday. I've been wanting to catalogue all of my DVDs so I have some kind of resource when someone asks me what movies I own, or if I own one certain film. The website lets you list all of your films and then lets you share with others.

So, here it is. My grand list of films I own:

You can of course tell which ones are my wife's and which ones are my daughter's but there you go.

Anyone else use this site? I'd love to see the collections of everyone here. Although I belive some would take a while to get through....Burgo.....

Alas, I am loathe to post my own listing, since me list be so short at this time. But it is interesting to see what everybody owns, and brings to mind the stuff I forgot about that I would like to buy. That being said, I was pleased to see the inclusion of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on your list, Master Skaboi, along with Jeepers Creepers 2. I recently picked up the 20th Anniversary editon of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, and would strongly urge you to do the same.

Onion,

I've been meaning to buy Henry on DVD for a couple of years now. I can't find it in any of the local shops and I'll probably end up ordering it off the internet at some point or another.

I picked it up at the Suncoast outlet at the Puyallup South Hill Mall; if there is an outlet near you, they can order it for $24.99--well worth the price, if that helps.

That site is a bit rough around the edges and kinda hard to use.
How do you add titles to each subfolder?

Mr_Vindictive · January 19, 2006, 05:09:39 PM

Ash,

First, you search for the film on the top of the page. Then it will display the results of the search. Check the film that you want to add, and then either at the top or the bottom you will have a button that says "Move To"

Beside that button, you will have a drop down list of the various subfolders. Choose the folder, click the button and it is added.

Interesting idea. I've attempted compiling a list of all my DVDs just so I knew when people borrowed them, but then I'd get some more and forget to add them, and the whole list gets shot to hell because of it.

One question though, is this counting legal and illegal copies of dvds?

If so, my list will be considerably smaller. :-P

HERE'S MY COLLECTION

I use the IMDb's My Movies section to catalog all my movies. I prefer that engine because I don't have to delineate from the SOURCE of movie information. Plus I can easily subsect my movies into genres and subgenres, and there's a feature that allows me to track back every movie I've ever seen by looking back on my votes. It's a nice feature. THe only downside? I can't exceed a catalog of 10,000 movies. Then again, the option of negotiating more space was always available. Does anyone here own more than 10,000 movies?

Mr_Vindictive · January 20, 2006, 08:30:59 AM

Dean,

Most of the films listed are legit, purchased copies. But, you probably see quite a few Region 2 and Region 3 dvds.....let me just say that I don't own a region free DVD player. ;)

The only possible contender on this board has to be Burgomaster. What is your count anyway Burgo? That is, of course, if you keep count.

I have mine listed in an Excel spreadsheet (which I am currently updating because I forgot to add some purchases to it over the last few months). By the time this exercise is over, I should have a list of somewhere between 1,500 and 1,600 titles. God help me.

Check out www.intervocative.com. You can catalogue all of your DVDs, plus it allows you to print color copies of the box cover and it gives information about Easter Eggs and other stuff. I just found out about it and I intend to try it soon.

Dean:

See my previous post in this thread, I'm working on the count now (updating my Excel spreadsheet), but it should come in at around 1,500 - 1,600 titles.

Scott · January 20, 2006, 05:03:40 PM

I'm working on my new imdb.com and Skaboi's affenciado page to see which I like the most then I'll make a link to both of my list. My list for both sites will be of the films I haven't seen yet.

The Burgomaster · January 20, 2006, 05:53:57 PM

I'm not sure how many movies I've actually SEEN . . . all I keep track of is how many I own.
